Music video

The music video tells the story of the misadventures of a young man trying to make it in the music industry. Following a chance meeting with a mouse, he finds short-lived success, only to be fired by his manager. The video ends with alien visitors, who picked up a broadcast of the young man's music, trying to pick him up, but the young man is too big to fit in their spaceship. They take the mouse away to a life of luxury, leaving the man alone and destitute. The video was produced by brothers David and at Passion Pictures.
